I'm using a very similar stack! I've built 20 devices using the PMS5003, Spec Sensors O3 digital gas sensor, and a cheap GPS module connected to an ESP32. 6 have been mounted in the field (more coming soon!). They report sensor

I feel like the comments here have some beef with "diversity" as used in this context. The impact of genetic diversity within a species is extremely widely studied and there is little doubt to the benefits nor is it a matter of p

Note that he said "intranet" (not "internet"), which had historically been presumed to be limited to internal access only. I think his point is valid and a little alarming.

Some people need most of the internet to work correctly. Like it or not, JS has become a core requirement for modern web functionality and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

This particular repo was blocked well before the MS buyout. Whatever decision was made, it was GitHub not MS who made it.

Careful - that's just the dev board without the M1 MCU itself. Taobao is pretty easy to access through the use of reshippers, I've used superbuy.com with much success but there are loads of options out there to pick up deals from

I think you discount the value of the other 99%. Those scientists were able to commute to work because some guys with shovels made a usable roadway, some other girls worked an oil rig to extract what would become fuel, yet another group of

While I appreciate the wisdom of this approach, the concept of mass transit isn’t new, and for large parts of the US has never worked out for one reason or the other. There are obvious exceptions in high density urban centers, but your typ

That’s presuming individual private ownership of those vehicles. Detroit seems convinced that a fleet approach (think Uber without the driver) is the most likely outcome. In this case, the fleet moves around as needs require, generating r

That would certainly explain it! After posting my comment it occurred to me that having Dr Patterson pose next to a PA-RISC system was probably intentional, given his history.

This mirrors our own experience with the Cat Genie. When it works it's great, when it fails you are elbow deep into liquified cat shit. There has to a be lesson here: when making a device that solves a problem, make sure that the fail

It isn't mentioned in the article, but I think it would be reasonable to suggest that a 25% tariff on nearly every component that goes into these devices might have impacted the decision. The alternative is to manufacture the device o
